Battle: Los Angeles

I had a battle with myself to try and make it to the end of this movie. It’s that boring.
Who would have thought that the story of a Marine platoon that faces off against an alien invasion in Los Angeles would be slow and tedious. The movie stars Aaron Eckhart who has done great work in other movies but the story regarding his character and others we have seen many times before. The aliens come directly from the movie District 9 which was outstanding compared to Battle: Los Angeles. I imagine that the pitch for this movie was: Take Black Hawk Down, add District 9 aliens. You now have a movie that was not scheduled to premiere during this summer because Sony Studios knew they had a dud.
Another case of a trailer being way better than the movie.

Verdict:
Independence Day 2 is in pre production for 2014 with Will Smith and I can’t wait.
